Lakers Luxury Tax Bill for 2013-2014 Season

[Xiao Yao You]

Money well spent!

Keep in mind this is only for 2 years. Everybody drops off the books besides Howard. Then the Lakers will sign another superstar for the max and add pieces, perhaps bring back some veterans for the minimum.

The tax gets split with the teams under cap so it comes down to one team below the cap that is retarded enough to take anything from the lakers, rather than getting paid

Teams are not going to stop making moves just because to get a little more luxury tax money.

I think you are confusing the salary cap [currently $58.044 mil] with the luxury tax threshold [$70.307 million]. Money paid into the luxury tax pool will be distributed to teams that do not exceed the luxury tax not just those under the cap.

It's a title contender team, so it's worth it. But the Knicks, Nets, lol...

I don't get this. You're not even an 8th seed yet.
